from within.TAO

the process of nature by which all things change and which is to be followed
for a life of harmony.

Why We Formed Zen Tao?

In
today’s fast paced, fast food world, how can we possibly achieve health? How do we even know where to start? Is eating several servings of fruits and
vegetables enough? Are current produce adequate in minerals and vitamins in
spite of the depleted soils? We can go to a large chain store or even our local
health food store, but what do we do once we are there?

Many
vitamin and supplement companies stock more than 11,000 different
products. Obviously, it would be
impossible for any person to purchase, yet alone use, even a small percentage
of the available products out there. And
the choices available are daunting to anyone but the most highly trained
nutritionist.

Should
I drink aloe juice? What about the “new
juice from The Amazon”? Maybe I should
take “The nutritional product of the Month”? New companies and marketing
strategies are constantly selling us what, according to them, are “the
essentials to our health”.

Not
only are the choices out there simply overwhelming and frustrating, you may be
taking substances that counter each other or that are not good for you. For example, did you know that taking calcium
at the same time as one’s meals or other supplements can result in decreased
absorption?

What
about the regular all-in-one vitamin available at the corner drugstore? These too have their potential
drawbacks. Some products do not have the
vitamins or minerals promised on the label (supplements are, by and large, not
regulated by the FDA and there is little or no quality control by this industry). Those vitamins and minerals that are present
are in a form that is not easily absorbed by the body (i.e. Some minerals need
to be bound to acid molecules for adequate transport and if they are bound to a
cheaper alkaline molecule, then the benefit is not there). Finally, many of these products are held together
by tar product.
